This edition’s topic states Multi Channel Networks (MCNs) and their business models and the way they disrupt the digital video and television markets, mostly via YouTube.
eMarketer Webinar: Trends in Video Advertising and MeasurementeMarketer
Join David Hallerman as he provide's an overview of the latest data on digital video ad metrics, video ad types, ad spending forecasts and the video audience.
TV has undergone such transformation over the past decade that a new name is needed to fully represent this evolved medium. In this presentation, Comcast Spotlight provides some insight on how marketers can navigate the new, increasingly complex reality of TV.
500 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube each minute. 3.25 billion hours of YouTube content is watched each month. Facebook now sees 100M hours of video watched per day by their approximately 1.79 billion users. There are over 300 other video platforms all vying for your video uploads.
Clearly, we have not seen a saturation of video content and experts’ projections continue to rise. We have an almost insatiable appetite for video partly because it’s easier to consume and because of its ability to convey messages quickly and succinctly. Video benefits the viewer and the marketer.
The future of video marketing has arrived. Many companies are producing their own videos covering topics such as product introductions, CEO messages, technical deep dives, demonstrations and various product webcasts. Marketers are also capitalizing on the wealth of videos already posted to link their sites to the most popular views on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms. The time has come for every company to adjust their marketing programs to include a video strategy. But…
Where does a company begin to understand the complexities of this new marketing frontier where video is being combined with marketing automation?
How does a marketing team navigate this fast moving and uncharted territory of automated video marketing?
What are the platforms and who are the key vendors? What is their role in this video gold rush?
Understanding the digital video ecosystem is a start. Understanding how they fit together gets us one step closer to developing a smart and effective video marketing strategy.
This paper gives you a solid framework to move forward with greater confidence as you make plans to integrate your marketing funnel, campaigns, targeting, and competitive analysis to video.

Video Ad Viewability Insights for
Digital Marketers and Publishers
We conducted research using our Active View technology to learn about the
current state of viewable video impressions on the web.
Viewability is top of mind for many advertisers and publishers now that the
Media Rating Council has lifted the viewable transaction advisory for video.
Seeking enhanced ROI, brand advertisers hope to ensure that their video ads
are seen. Publishers are receiving more RFPs and are looking to enhance site
viewability, using viewable impressions as a currency to do so.
Here we highlight the broad findings and insights we discovered during our
analysis of the research data to help advertisers and publishers better
understand the current state of viewable video impressions.
Google conducted a study of our video advertising platforms, including
Google, DoubleClick, and YouTube, to better understand video ad viewability
on YouTube and across the web. According to the Media Rating Council and
IAB standard, a viewable video impression occurs when at least
50% of an ad’s pixels are visible on screen for at least two consecutive
seconds. For the purpose of this report, we are using this definition across
both desktop and mobile devices.
We analyzed two separate sets of data pulled using Google’s Active View
measurement technology in April 2015:
1. Video viewability across the web (desktop, mobile, and tablet), not
including YouTube. Mobile video app data is not available at this time, so
we have excluded it from this analysis.
2. Video viewability data for YouTube, including both data from across the
web (desktop, mobile, and tablet) and mobile in-app ads.
State of Video Ad Viewability
The average viewability of video ads across the web (not including YouTube) is 54%
and on YouTube is 91%.*
Why Video Ads Aren’t Seen
Of non-viewable ads, 76% were in a background tab or never on screen at all.
The remaining 24% were scrolled off-screen or abandoned in fewer than two seconds.
Player Size Matters
The most popular video ad player size across the web happens to be the least viewable. Large players on
video-focused sites, like those found on YouTube, for example, demonstrate significantly higher viewability.
Location, Location, Location
Horizontal and vertical positioning matter, and correlate to viewability.
Video ads are significantly more viewable on mobile
and tablet than on desktop. YouTube is 94% viewable on
mobile devices.
Non-viewable ads are served video ads across
desktop, mobile, and tablet that don’t meet the
viewability criteria.
Advertisers seeking viewable impressions should look at high viewability sites that engage in
best practices for video viewability.
Video viewability varies significantly by ad size. In general, advertisers should consider investing
their spend in inventory comprised of larger vide
Advancements in viewing technology and increased competition for eyeballs have resulted in a more fragmented environment where consumers can watch TV from a wide array of devices and access content from countless sources. Led by certain segments of the population, most notably Millennials, consumers have quickly adapted to this new environment and are drastically changing their viewing patterns at an accelerating rate. In this report, we asked more than 1,000 Americans about their TV viewing behaviors to provide context for the shifts in their consumption habits and better understand viewing audiences.

Millward Brown’s AdReaction Video study explored how, where, and why multiscreen users in 42 countries are viewing video, and what marketers need to know to create video that is effective across screens. We have interviewed over 13 500 multiscreen users (ages 16-45 who own or have access to a TV and a smartphone or tablet). We also tested 20 Tv ads in 8 countries across TV, digital and mobile platforms.

Strategy& consultants explore the trend of traditional media companies buying up new multichannel networks (MCNs) in pursuit of online audiences. To get the maximum advantage from these MCNs, they say, media companies will have to diversify and monetize them—and create new content without losing the unique edge that makes them popular with their audience.

Content providers are increasingly presenting their material on YouTube in own channels.
Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs) bundle and promote them.1
Revenues are principally generated via video advertising – 2013 ad revenues on YouTube are
expected to increase to USD 5 billion.2
In the battle for ad revenues and consumer reach, these networks have become serious
competitors to traditional providers of moving pictures.
As a result, companies like Bertelsmann/RTL Group, ProSiebenSat.1 or Time Warner are
investing in existing MCNs or setting up their own.3
mCns support content producers and owners of youtube channels via
services such as programme planning, production, audience management
and digital rights management. in return they earn commissions
on ad revenues, which are displayed before, during and after videos.
